The Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning within Schools is at A level. This course not only looks at how the TA works in the classroom and the knowledge.

It asks for the candidate to demonstrate their ability to lead a lesson which has been planed by a teacher and deliver it at a good standard and manage the students behaviour to keep them safe in a safe environment.

This course has an element of cover supervisor units as well embedded within the course which opens up doors to become a cover supervisor as well as to begin the journey as a HLTA.

Many teachers spend hours writing evaluating, recording and tracking assessment and evidence there is often to to help learners progress individually or for you to give them back worth while feedback.

Here are some top tips that help me out.

1. Get in the habit of as soon as you get an assessment to do … do it then and there don’t store it for later do it straight away. This will help you as it’s in you will remember it and the assessment is fresh in your mind.

When you leave things you can easily forget what you were doing heading to the assessment turning into a memory recall game increasing the risk of forgetting information and key parts where students need to learn.

2. Plan yourself time

One of the biggest challenges is to set time to do work and time to relex. However, remember that you need some time to think and plan your assessments PPA time should be using for this. Aways try and think to yourself what can you do to at home and what can you do at school. If you can do it all at school do it straight away.
